Double boron-embedded multiresonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes

Abstract The subclass of multi resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters ( MR-TADF ) containing boron atoms has garnered significant attention in the field of organic light emitting diode (OLED) research. Among boron-based MR-TADF emitters, double boron-embedded MR-TADF ( DB-MR-TADF ) emitters show excellent electroluminescence performances with high photoluminescence quantum yields, narrow band emission, and beneficially small singlet-triplet energy levels in all the full-color gamut regions. This article reviews recent progress in DB-MR-TADF emitters, with particular attention to molecular design concepts, synthetic routes, optoelectronic properties, and OLED performance, giving future prospects for real-world applications.
